The Governor (Republicans) defended the pardon to (PL) as a “pacification factor” to Brazil and said that “any candidate” of the center-right will grant forgiveness to the former president in the case of conviction in the (Supreme Court) for the accusation of leading the 2022 coup plot.
Tarcisio, however, said that his political godfather is innocent, that he will be able to prove his innocence and that the pardon will not be necessary.
On Thursday (10), Tarcisio by the Donald Trump government and was asked about the pardon to Bolsonaro-the process against the former president was one of the reasons that motivated the retaliation of the president of the United States to Brazil.
The governor, who had been avoiding journalists for days, was asked about the pardon to Bolsonaro and the position of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), who said that the candidate for the scholarship presidency should guarantee the measure.
“I believe he [Bolsonaro] It is innocent and will be able to prove his innocence throughout the process. So the first thing I understand is that the president is innocent and will be innocent and then the pardon will not be necessary, “said Tarcisio.
“If necessary, I’m sure any candidate we have in this center-right block will pardon, and this pardon will be negotiated. Because what is important now is that this will be seen as a pacification factor. Leaving this agenda aside, because we have an important agenda,” he continued.
The Paulista Governor is one of the names of the right quoted to an application to the Planalto Palace in 2026 in place of Bolsonaro, who is ineligible until 2030.
Following, Tarcisio listed themes that, according to him, make up the agenda he mentioned, such as political reform, longevity, SUS financing and “tax measures that will advance us.”
“So, I’m sure it’s peaceful that we need to end this subject to be able to jump with a pacified country,” he said.
Faced with journalists’ insistence on how to act with the Supreme Court, Tarcisio said, “These things are resolved on the basis of dialogue, but I believe in the president’s innocence.”
